There's quite a bit of planning activity in this area (known as Griffintown East, aka Cité Multimédia aka Faubourg des Récollets) and included in the larger Havre area. All I can say is that the orange condo (M9) is only the beginning.

gribouille - looks like your plan for opening a grocery store underneath the elevated highway is not going to be viable in 2025.

However, can I just say one thing: THANK YOU, La société du havre, for recognizing that the most ridiculously damaging thing in the area is that damn elevated highway. It cuts (former) Griffintown in two, separates the western part of the neighborhood and, as a result, the area west of the highway is completely dead right now. Almost no residential development (aside from lofts on Peel st), no stores, no bars - nothing.

May be if the highway was flattened à là Ave du Parc / des Pins, people would finally start crossing this border and the neighborhood would extend west.
